Cow and Snake in Sohrai by Rukmani Devi

Rukmini Devi's Sohrai painting features a vibrant and striking depiction of a snake drinking milk from a cow. The composition is characterized by its use of bold lines, bright colors, and traditional motifs, all hallmarks of Sohrai art. The cow is prominently featured in the center of the painting, depicted with a stylized body and a pair of large, expressive eyes that dominate its face. There is a snake, shown in the act of drinking milk from the cow, its body curling gracefully beneath the cow’s udder.
This motif is rich in symbolism where the cow symbolizes fertility, nourishment, and prosperity, while the snake represents transformation, rebirth, and the cyclical nature of life. Together, they reflect the interconnectedness of life and the balance between stability and change.

The horizontal bands of red, yellow, and black soil with repetitive white marks on both the creatures reinforce the theme of harmony and coexistence and create a sense of unity in the composition. The plants and leaves scattered on the white background are stylized, consistent with the primitive and bold style of Sohrai painting. In addition, the semi-circles alternate in red and yellow, creating a rhythmic frame, draw attention to the central scene. Overall, Rukmani Devi's painting is a beautiful example of Sohrai art, capturing the essence of traditional motifs, bold patterns, and symbolic meanings that celebrate the cultural and spiritual heritage of the tribal communities.
